<p>Apparatus and method for drying moisture-laden dielectric materials by microwave energy and including directing microwave energy from a generator to opposite sides of material to be dried. Means is provided for protecting the generator from microwave energy reflected by the material. It is preferable to include means for controlling the output of the generator in accordance with the moisture content of the portion of the material exposed to the microwave energy. This is accomplished by measuring energy transmitted through the material, and controlling the output of the generator inversely relative to the level of the transmitted energy.</p> |
